Yup, Gewurz be good WW, but I'm with Bucko and really favor the Mosel, even after living in the Rheinland for a couple of years. That's probably why most of those overlooked oldies are NOT Mosel - I've been shoving them aside for several years to get to the good stuff!

Hotwine, telling ww that a particular sw is "good stuff" isn't exactly preaching to the choir--even if it is Mosel and happens to be great stuff.

But I think I know why you did it: now that ww has admitted to a closet obsession with gw I almost believe he has been toying with our sensibilities all these months. I'll bet he has never even tasted a rw and all his great notes about Zins and Cabs come from an overactive (but quite accurate) imagination!!!!

I just love to see messages in the German wine section! When ee found 76's in 1999, most were over the hill but palatable except for the Beerenauslese which was still supurb. For me the Rhein Paltz is best - but that is MY taste - albiet flavoured by many fond memories in the area.

Weeeell, most of my time was spent in the Mosel.
Ãœrzig, Trier, Bernkastel, Trarbach, Cochem...
So you can see that I am quite partial to Mosel wines!
There is true reasoning for spending most of my time, in while in Germany, (outside of time spent in Munich) visiting the Mosel. They are, "my kind of wines".
Mosel wines tend to be more fragrant then Rhein wines, with higher acidity. (Also they are elegant, which is all about me.) The Rhein is... hey, wait a minute, is this some kinda trick???
